During COVID lockdown I had to continue to work on my karate skills independently as I was testing for my black belt. It took dedication and focus to hone these skills without my instructor in the same room as me. I ended up passing my black belt exam in June 2020 in an outdoor event. I went on to obtain my second degree black belt in June of 2022.
